This past Tuesday’s #ChicChat was all about originality. There are so many new blogs sprouting and it’s hard to stay original and create original content. Because of that, we decided we all needed to share some advice and insight relating to originality. Here are some tweets that really stuck out — in the best way possible.

Question One
What are your initial thoughts on blogs and originality?
“I think pretty much every blog has a lot of similarity. It’s passion and personality that sets them apart!” — @evegagnon1
“It’s SO hard to be 100% original unless you are a serious trendsetter - even then you grab inspiration from somewhere” — @The_RachelRoss
“The worst think ever is when people copy other bloggers because they think people will like it. Originality is best!” — @citrusandstyle

Question Two
Do you think originality is starting to lose meaning now that there are so many blogs?
“I don’t think it has to. But you have to make the effort to be original.” — @ThePeachBellini
“The more blogs there are the harder it is to come up with something new, but more blogs equal more voices and opinions.” — @CarrieOnBlogs
“No, because every blogger has a written voice and their own authentic personality.” — @helloscarblog

Question Three
How do you keep YOUR blog original?
“I just try and think of what I want to read and haven’t yet!” — @CarrieOnBlogs
“I get inspiration from others around me, but put my own spin on it!” — @citrusandstyle
“Such a good question and yet so difficult to answer… hmmm” — @stylecontext
“I write thanks that make ME happy, things that inspire ME, motivate ME and challenge ME.” — @helloscarblog

Question Four
What blog do you think should win the “most original” superlative?
“Atlantic Pacific by @BlairEadieBEE for sure.” — @citrusandstyle
“I’m truly not saying this just because she is here but I honestly think it should be @fashionnewcomer.” — @CarrieOnBlogs
“I love @pbloverblog! Her posts are always so relatable.” — @petitepastels
“So, I will go with @abeautifulmess with my girls Elsie and Emma.” — @helloscarblog
“Not sure if @ManRepeller qualifies as a blog anymore, but they put out content I would never be able to think of myself!” — @twolilelephants
